BOYS OF SUMMER

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake,
Empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though i know you're not home
But i can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
Sunglasses on, baby
And i can tell you my love for you
Will still be strong after the boys of
Summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how i made you scream?
Now i don't understand what's happened
To our love,
But babe, i'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what i'm made of
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone

=P lets not go there again lol

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

yeah, way better

the original is always better than the cover. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. the ataris themselves know their version is just a bastardized record company ploy and they're skulking all the way to the bank.

1st is the worst, second is the best...

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

did anyone hear something? or was it just the high pitched whine of a teeny bopper with no respect for 'what came before...' and if it's so bad, then by do the ataris wish to do obeisance to it by covering it and introducing it to a new set of listeners? judo-chop, peanut!

Not always true. Ataris version is better. Blink 182 does a heck of a lot better Dancing With Myself than Billy Idol. And New Found Glory's version of the Titanic song sure beats Celine Dion's.

out on the road today i saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac
a little voice inside my head said don't look back
you can never look back
i thought i knew what love was
what did i know
those days are gone forever
and i should just let 'em go but
i can see you... etc etc
